Disney To Remove Park Reservation Requirement

Starting with park visits on Jan. 9, 2024, theme park reservations will no longer be required for date-based tickets.

When getting your ticket, you will simply select a start date for Jan. 9, 2024 or later, complete your purchase and then you will be all set! For reference, date-based tickets are the standard ticket option Disney offers to guests.

For other admission types, including non-dated tickets, theme park reservations may be required to help us continue managing attendance and delivering a great experience for everyone. You can check which admission types require park reservations by visiting DisneyWorld.com/ThemeParkReservations before you purchase.
